The young King of Portugal died of typhus fever on

Tues- day, the 12th instant, and has been succeeded by his bro- ther, Ferdinand° the Second. The late King was extremely popular, and was described by travellers as "the most sen sible man in his own dominions." He was urging Portugal forward upon a course of commercial development, and had conciliated all parties, except a few of the more violent clergy, to the throne. He married while still very young and sur- vived a German Princess, and was said, at the time of his- death, to be seeking the hand of a Princess of the House of Savoy.
